Glow Worm

Lyrics

Up the snowy spires
 Where the air is thick as glass
 Once a year the cold mist clears
 You can see inside the earth
 ♪
 High in that crystal palace
 I've built a sailing ship
 Mastered wheel of polished brass
 Sails of gold and silk
 
 I pyte the engine steam
 I set for long citations
 I consulted dusty maps
 Said careful, care the glaciers
 
 Never in, we're never in
 Hearing through my scope
 I sail deep into the hollows
 Deep inside the earth
 ♪
 I travelled a boiling river
 Through streams of mercury
 Under these volcanoes
 And the roots of ancient trees
 ♪
 Underneath stalactites
 I lit phosphorous lamps
 Sparks snapped into the air
 And coiled up the mist
 ♪
 I watched enormous birds
 Diving through the slate
 As I stood upon the ground
 In my oil skin cap and cape
 At last, my anchor caught
 And echoed through the stone
 As I climbed and old broke ladder
 Pile through the globe
 
 And up above I saw it
 A glow worm's little light
 And I reached out and caught it
 In the center of the night
 Tightly in my fist
 I held that glowing worm
 Deep down in the hollows
 I held the center of the world
